Transcribed Image Text:### Temperature and Absences in a Summer Class
The following data represents the temperatures on randomly chosen days during a summer class and the corresponding number of absences on those days. Use this data to calculate the correlation coefficient, \( r \).
#### Data Table:
| Temperature, \( x \) | 75 | 88 | 94 | 93 | 91 | 101 | 78 | 103 | 83 |
|-----------------------|----|----|----|----|----|-----|----|-----|----|
| Number of absences, \( y \) | 0 | 4 | 7 | 7 | 5 | 12 | 1 | 12 | 2 |
#### Available Answers:
- **A.** 0.881
- **B.** 0.819
- **C.** 0.980
- **D.** 0.890
Calculate the correlation coefficient \( r \) to determine the strength and direction of the relationship between temperature and the number of absences. Select the correct answer from the options provided.
